years, retired t make l oom for their

-d with all of the

members with the exception of Shea
H-ing on
de k when Mavor

rapped for order and took up the
task of starting the legislative pro
g ram.
A number of the residents of Vine
st ret t headed by E. W. Barger. re
quested the council to widen out
Vine strett between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth streets in order that
they might place a permanent walk
along their pi ; erty leaJing to the
west se cond ward scl or, ar.d also ask
ing permission to place a cinder walk
there until it would be possible to re
place it with a permanent walk. This
petition was referred to the streets,
alleys and bridiros committee.
A number of the property owners
or the east Fifth ward headed by R.
II. Patton requested the council to
investigate the possibilities of extend
ing the electric service to that part
of the city for the benefit of the res
idents. Tii is was placed in the hands
of the lighting committee for action.
The council also received an offer
from Frank R. Gobelman for per
mission to place a sign on the offic
ial water wagon c f the city, known as
th street sprinkler, and in return
he premised to rorke the wagon shine
with a bright coat of paint and see
that the wagon was kept in the best
of shape during the coming season.
This matter was turned over to the
lire and water committee for action.
The streets, alleys and bridges com
mittee through Chairman Bettor had
a number of matters to report at the
session, among which was the peti
tion of II. S. Rice in regard to the
for sidewalk purposes levied on
hi
property and the committee in
i -i i i 1 j
".eir report louna mat tne property
had been fully benefitted by the side
walk and should pay the tax. On the
m-tition of E. C. Hill for ihe filling
of Twelfth street near his residence
the committee stated that as the work
e.f making the fill would require
unite an expenditure of money they
recommended that it be laid over un
til a future time.
The chief feature of the evening
was uncorked by the streets, alleys
and bridges committee in a report
on the petition of the residents along
Chicago avenue asking that that
thoroughfare be created into an im
provement district with the view of
paving the avenue from the south
side of Pearl street to the north siele
of Hoidredji-e street, ar.d in their re-
port the committee recommended thatjdicated his many previous experi-1 is in every way qualified for the po
the petition bo granted and the city ences in this line antl following thisjsition and one who will render the
attorney be authorized to draw up
the ordinance. This motion was
adopted with
Councilman Buttery
voting "no."
Ihe real war ot tne evening was
commenced when the streets, alleys
and bridges committee reported up -
on the petition of the residents along
Chicago avenue asking for an exten -
sion of the sewer on that thorough -
fare this year and the committee re-
ported that they found that the pe-
tition -hould be granted.
The motion was then .made by
Couniclman Bestor that the sewer ex-
tension of Chicago avenue be grant-
ed and that the plans and specifica-
tions for the sewer work be prepared
at once. This brought forth an en
ergetic protest irom councilman uut-I
tery of the second ward, who stated I
that the residents along Washington
avenue were entitled to the extension I
it has been the custom to allow
first one section of the city and then
the other to have this public improve-
merit. lie also paid his respects to
some of the residents in the proposed
paving district for their failure to
carry out the promises made several
years ago in regard to work on the
street, and stated that the second
ward was clearl v entitled to receive
the extension of the sewer this year.
Councilman Bestor in replying to Mr.
Buttery stated that the work on the
Washington avenue sewer had cost
a great ueai more man inai on ini- r or xne position oi sutci, tumma
cago avenue and that a balance of sioner Mayor Sattler offered the
something over $1,000 was expended name of J. N. Elliott, which was re-
on Washington avenue and that ow-
intr to the keen interest and desire of
. nm - I
the residents along Lnicago avenue
to have the thoroughfare paved and
put m proper snape he thought it no
more than just that the sewer be ex-
tended along that street. This state-
ment was disputed by Councilman
Buttery as to the amount expended
1 I
on wasnington avenue.
The council, however, voted to al-
low the extension of the sewer on
Chicago avenue, Patterson , Mauzy,
Bajeck, Bestor, Weaver, Luschinsky
and Johnson voting for it and But
tery and Harris against with Shea
absent and accordingly this improve
ment will be made as soon as possi-
bIe to PrePare tne Pns and let the
contract. The firm of Bruce and
Standeven were authorized to draw
the plans and specifications for the
new sewer district.
Th.. f., n(i water committee
through Chairman Johnson reported
favorably on the list of names of
those who had assisted at several of
f. ; rontlv Knt
stated that in the future they would
consider only the claims of those who
were members of the fire department
er who had been impressed into the
service by the chief of the fire de
partment.
The fire and water committee also
took up the matter of the purchase I
of a new nozzle for the use of the
department and were authorized to
disnese of the old nozzle for what
they could get and to purchase a new
A
one for use bv the fire boys. The
committee also touched on the mat
ter of the missing shovel of John
Claus which has been in dispute be
tween Mr. Claus and the fire depart
ment officials. It was stated that
thifi shovel was borrowed at the time
of the fire near the Dovey home and
that a dispute over the ownership of
the shovel made it impossible to re-
turn the same and on motion it was
n-reed to nurchase Mr. Claus an-
other shovel to take the place of the
missing one.
Chairman Luschinsky of the light
ing committee reported that they hadj
investigated the petition of George
Perry and others for electric light
service for their homes and had tak- i
en the matter up with the Nebraska
Lighting Company and that the com-
pany had agreed to extend the ser
vice on Lincoln avenue rs soon as
possible and place it in the homes of
the petitioners.'
The appeal bond of Edward Fitz
gerald, et al.. to cover the costs of
the appeal from the action of the
board of equalization of the council,
in the sum of $50 was read and on
motion of Patterson was rejected as
the amount of the bond was insuffi
cient to cover the costs in the case.
The business of the session beng
completed a motion was made to ad-
Mourn and the old council prepared
to adjourn after hearing and approv-
ing the bonds of the newly elected
council.
Mayor Sattler was sworn into of -
fice by City Clerk Warga and pro -
ceeded to administer the oath to the
other officials in a manner that in -
I the new members of the council came
to order. Mayor Sattler expressed
his appreciation of the splendid ser-
vices of the retiring members of the
council, Messrs. Bajeck, Weaver and
Shea, and told of the cordial feeling
J that had prevailed between the mem
bers during the past two years

elected to the position of president of
the council, and responded with a few
words of appreciation. As soon as
the new council was ready for busi
ness Mayor Sattler proceeded to start
the ball rolling by the appointment
J of the various officials to serve for
the ensuing year.

tne name oi wniiam iiarciay was,
presented to the council and confirm-
ed by a unanimous vote of that body
as a well deserved recognition of the
splendid services of Mr. Barclay in

other members of the police force
and will let the matter rest until the
next meeting of the council before

JOHN WUNDERLIGH GETS
GOOD APPOINTMENT .
FROM THE GOVERNOR
From Sati rday's Paily
The political plum tree at the state
capital has yielded an office for Cass
county according to the reports re
ceived fjiom that city, and John G
Wunderlich of Nehawka, is the ren
tleman selected by Governor Neville
for the position of inspector of
weights and measures of the state.
This is a well deserved recognition
of one of the loyal and energetic
democrats of Cass county and one
I who has been untiring in his work
for the party during his long resi
dence in Cass county and no task
I was found too difficult for Mr. Wun
jderlich to undertake if it might
1 bring success to the principles he had
I espoused. Governor Neville will find
1 that he has selected a gentleman that
I people of the state of Nebraska full
I service every day in the vear. The
J appointment will take effect at once
I and Mr. Wunderlich expects to take
I up his duties some time next week.
ERROR IN AMOUNT.
In the list published of those con
tributing to the work of placing the
Rock Bluff road in first class shape it
was stated through an error that Sam
Schwab had given $2.50 to the fund
when it should have been $25. Mr.
Schwab has been most liberal in his
efforts to secure better roads for his
locality, and just credit should be
J given him for his efforts.

MENT AT THE
A Very Pleasing Affair, and the Am
itorium Well Filled With Parents
and Others to"" Witness "The
Singing School."
One of the most pleasing er.tt vtain
ments that has been given in the city
for some time was held last evening
at the high school auditorium when
the young people of the high school
presented the musical farce, "The
Singing School," a very clever enter
tainment in two acts by Danforth and
Rosche. The sketch gave the young
people a very pleasing opportunity of
displaying their talents in the musical
line and the audience, which packed
the auditorium, c?. tainly enjoyed to
the limit the work of the different
members of the cast. The chief role
of the farce was carried by Harold
Smith as "Prof. P. Percival Pippin,
A. M. D. M,." the singing master, and
his clever enactmci.t of the part kepi
the audience delith'.ed from the start
to the finish. His directing of the
"singing school" was most amusing
and clever to a great degree. As "Ei
viiy Ketchum," who captured Prof.
Pippin, Miss Marie! Streight was very j
pleasing, ar.d with the professor, gave
a pleasing duet, "Ruben and Rachel,"
as well as a solo, "Grandma's Advice."
Miss Helen Todd as "Vera Swift" gave
a pleasing solo, "Hunting." Miss
Margaret Parker.ing as "Effa Viseent"
and Dick Mavor as "Cy Furr" were
also features of the offering with their
duet, "Oh, My Heait Gees Pit-a-Pai."
Juno Marshall as "Al Falfar," a "hay
seeel," was t:;?ept' ijr.nl ly clever and
drew a hearty encore for his pleasing
work in the cast of the farce. He
was given a solo number in the
chorus, "The Singing School," that
was much enjoyed. "Len Gubious."
acted, by Gladys Hall, was a very ef
fective part, and Miss Hall took a
leading part in the number, "The Val
ley of Chaumoni." As "Sophy Cush
ing" the village fat girl. Miss Velma
Elliott drew much applause for her
clever handling of the part. "Cal
Amity" as represented hy Everett
Spangler, was one of the irrepressible
mischief-makers of the singing school
and his role was much enjoyed. Rob
ert Krcehler as "Squire Grumps" and
Carla Brandt as "Mrs. Squcgee."
acted as the visiting school board and
drew much laughter from their aud
itors for their clever acting and pre
rented the medals of reward to the
singers at tne scnooi. airormc
Shoop as
"left over,
"Ann Sotorth, a village
proceecied to read a pro-
found essay on "Music" for
fit of the singing school, beneath the
spell of which the singers sank into a
very realistic slumber. "Justin Style,"
Harley Cecil, the village dandy, and
"Hi Waters," another aspirant for the
position of Beau Brummel, were very
pleasing. Miss Helen Roberts as "Eva
Green,'" the shy girl, and Fae Cobb
as "Phyllis Tate," the village cutup,
were very realistic in their roles and
added a pleasing feature to the school
scene. Jack Ledgway as "Chris
Cross." an eccentric character, fur
nished an unique part to the cast, ant
also gave several pleasing cornet so
los; between acts that were much en
joyed. Misses Mildred Schlater an
Genevieve Whelan as "Fan Dango'
! and "Sal Magundi" furnished a mos
charming piano duet during the pro
gress of the play that was very pleas
ing. Gladys and Goldie Kaffenbergtr
as "Ima and Ura Kidd," the village
twins, made a pleasing hit by their
singing of "Dixie" during the chorus
work. Thelma Hudson and Fay Crook
as "Ida Clair" and "Millie -ary
sang a very enjoyable number, "The
Little Brown Church." Floyd Stone,
who is visiting in the cityassisted in
the offering in the role of "Welland
Strong," adding a great deal to the
pleasure of the audience.
The young people were costumed in
the styles of years ago and with the
exceptionally effective makeups made
an attractive picture on the stage,
and too much cannot be said for the
real dramatic talent displayed by the
young folks. One of the strong fac
tors contributing to the success of
the offering was the accompaniment
of Miss Delia Frans, one of the tal
ented members of the high school, and
HIGH SGH00I
this assisted very materially in the
success ol tne oilering.
The members of the cast have been
directed bv Mrs. Mae Mergan in the.r

LiUUIG REFRESHMENTS
NO LONGER OVER THE
PLATTSMOUTH BAR
This is the last day for those who
in the years past have been in the
habit of securing a glass of beer or
an eye-opener over the bar in the sa
loons and the various places for the
dispensing of the liquid refreshment
have been crowded all clay with pat
rons who in the last hours are laying
in Eomthing to last through the long
dry summer that is about to come
upon us. A greater part of the sa
loon men have been pretty well
cleaned up on the liquid refreshments
as the demand has not been very
heavy in the last week and the close
will be hailed with welcome by most
of the men anel the bartenders, who '
have worked to the limit in supply
ing the orders of those who are pre
paring for the drought. The oc
casion will be celebrated by a num
ber of those who will be on the front
seat of the water wagon tomorrow.
There have been a great many look
ing after the preparedness plan and
they will not suffer from the closing
up of the saloons for some time at
least, when the stocks laid away will
become depleted.

HORSE THIEVES
ABANDON A
STOLEN TEAM
A Ccuple cf Fellows .Make Darinir
Theft. But Abandon Team on the
River Road and Make
Escape.
Yesterday afternoon a daring at
tempt at what seems to he a clo-e
case to horse stealing was pulled off
in this city by two strangers who,
while they were not able to accom
plish their purpose, maJe good on
their getaway, abandoning the stolen
team and a single horse that they had
gathered up. The team taken was
that belonging to Louis, Lee, n' of
the young farmers of this locality.
while the horr.e was the property of
John Koukal, jr. The hor-e.-- h". '. !e-n
left unhitched by their owm- near
Fifth street shortly after dinner, and
it was not until later in the afU ; -noon
that the loss of the horses was dis
covered and it was due to the men
themselves that they fuib-d to make
a getaway with the property. Armour
Gamblin, who has charge of the
Coronado apartment hou-e, had his
attention attracted by two men in a
controversy m the strett near the
apartment house and on going out t
see what the matter wa-, found two
men in a ratner neated argument as
to which way they would proceed with
their outfit, consisting of a team and
buggy, and at the appearance of Mr.
Gamblin one of the men produced a
revolver and told him tc get hack on
the sidewalk and not meddle in their
affairs, and this Mr. Gamblin did at
once, suing into the building and call
ing Sheriff Quinton, and telling him
of the affair, although at thi time it
was not known that the horses had
been stolen. The sheriff started in pur
suit of the men and soon overhauled
the abandoned team on the river road
east of the city, and they were brought
back to the city and were just being
placed in the Manspeaker livery barn
when Mr. Lee arrived on the seen
and identified the team and carriage
as his property, ana Mr. iouKai later
identified his horse as the one which
the men had attempted to get away
with. It is thought that the men on
seeing that they were about to he
captured, abandoned the team and took
to shelter in the rail read yards, al
though no idgn could be found of them
or any trace of their identity he
learned. The owners -f the horses
feel that they certainly were very
lucky to have their property returned
as it was merely a cr.ance mat ine
men committing the crime did not get
awav with the animals, as they had a
splendid chance to do it.
